CUFF-BUTTON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 756,047, dated March 29, 1904.

' Application filed July 9, 1903. Serial No. 164,781. (No model.)

To all whom it may-concern:

Be it known thatI, J OSEF PEJGHAR, a citizen of Austria-Hungary, residing at New York city, Bronx, county of Westchester, State of.

New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuff-Buttons, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a cuff-button which is so constructed that it may be readily inserted and removed by being partly rotated upon its seat.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cuff provided with my improved button; Fig. 2, a top view thereof; Fig. 3, an inner face view; Fig. 4, adetail of the yoke; Fig. 5, a top view of a modification of the button; Fig. 6, a side view of a further modification, and Fig. 7 a top view of the modification illustrated in Fig. 6.

The letter a represents a V-shaped yoke adapted to embrace the front of a cuff A and having, preferably, a central projection a, which enters the slit of the cuff. Each arm of the yoke is perforated, as at a the perforations being provided with a pair of slits, of

which one extends through to the outer edge of the arm. In this way the arm may be spread or opened for the introduction of a button-stem b. This stem is provided with an outer head I; and an inner shoe 6 at opposite sides of the yoke. The button is thus rotatably secured to the yoke, and while its head 6 may be of suitable configuration the shoe 6 should be made in the form of a pin or short transverse bar adapted to enter the buttonhole.

In use the shoe 6 is brought into alinement with the butto'nhole A of cuff A and is slipped through the same, and then the button is ro-' tated about ninety degrees, so that the shoe assumes a position at right angles to the but tonhole. Thus the button is securely held in position. To remove the button, the shoe is again brought into alinement with the buttonhole and drawn outwardly through the same.

In Fig. 5 the rigid yoke a is replaced by a flexible chain-yoke 0.

In Figs. 6 and 7 the yoke 03 is V-shaped and rigid, the same as in Fig. 1. Its ends are, however, slightly enlarged for ornamental purposes, so as to resemble snake-heads. The yoke is perforated for the reception of the rotatable button, having an elongated shoe at the inner side and a head 03 at the outer side. This head is made S-shaped in lieu of having the oval shape illustrated in Fig. 1. It will be seen that my improved cuff-button is of simple construction and that it maybe readily inserted and removed by being rotated upon its seat.

What I claim is A cuff-button composed of a V-shaped perforated yoke adapted to embrace the edge of a cufi, a stem rotatably mounted in the yoke, ahead secured to the outer end of the stem, and an elongated shoe secured to the inner end of the stem, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at New York city, (Manhattan,) New York, this 8th day of July, 1903.
